The extreme sensitiveness Of the French

recoiiect some years ago in the Pireus Of
Athens, where a vast number Of ships Of
war Of all natiOnalities were assembled,
awaiting events after the flight Of King
Ohio and the coming Of the present mon
arch, who was then Prince George Of Den

There is no power Of love so hard to get
and keep as kind voice. a kind hand is
deaf and dumb 1t may he rough in flesh
and blood, yet do the work Of soft heart
aid do it with n soft touch. But there is
no one thing that love SO much needs as
. sweet voice to tell what it means and
feels; and it is hard to get and keep it in
the right tone. One must start in youth
aad be on the watch night and day, at
work and play, to get and keep a voice
that shall speak at all times the thoughts
OF kind heart. 1t is often in youth that
one gets voice or a tone that is sharp,
and sticks to him through life, and stirs
mp i'll will and grief. and falls like drop
of gall on the sweet joys Of home Watch
it day by day as pearl of great price, for
it will he worth more 70 you in days to
come than the hest pearl bill in the sea.
A kind voice is to the heart what light is
to the eye. 1t is light that sings ~ well
As shines. Burritt.

DesiEn Of Belgian Coins.

Seine Of the small Belgian coins, which
a.: perhaps, the prettiest of all the
modern examples, have q vigorous effect
given them, not by raising the efflgy in
the center much above the general sur
face, but by surrounding it with q sunk
space, from which it stands out bold and
round, although protected from wear by
the rim which carries the inscription.
With the English or American coins, in
which profile head or other figure swims
about In an ocean OF background, such q
treatment would be impracticable; but
the Belgian designers fit their lion very
cleNerly into his circular frame, without
either crowding or awkward vacancies.
A disposition Of this sort would be the
very one which would occur to trained
decorative artist, to whom the jumble.;
that now pass muster for coinage designs
would be abominations; and sculptor Of
the first rank might then be called in
with great advantage to complete the
mode ing The Epoch.

THE poPE'S SEcLUsloN.
Persspal Habits OF Leo XIII and Hi
Love for the Fine Arts

Love for the Fine Arts.
Few persons whom fate has raised to 10
high rank love seclusion So much as the
successor of Plus XI, who was never
averse To cheerful surrounding. Leo XIII
is seldom seen in his reception robes: still
more difficult is 1t to observe him in his
house dress. The seclusion in which he
dwells Is easily accounted for--first by
his naturally retiring ways and secondly
by the fact that his devotion to all the
affairs that claim his attention leaves him
absolutely no time for visitors. Mgr
Della Volpe, the successor Of Machi as
maestro di camera, must bear the brunt of
the general dissatisfaction engcndered by
the scarcity of admission to q papal audi
ence, and yet he is powerless to remedy
the evil. Leo NH, who sits constantly
before his enormous, artistically carved
writing desk, hidden behind heap of
books, diplomatic letters and newspapers.
rarely allows himself to be interrupted in
his work in order TO listen to the timid
petitions Of his maestro di camera. and
contents himself with proving to him that
he has no time 10 lose.
He has not yet become convinced that "a
general blessing will satisfy his visitors.

to twenty or thirty persons he considers
himself Obliged to take special interest in
each individual. He asks questions and
gives advice, all Of which tries him very
much and robs him Of many a precious
hour. Therefore he resists as long as pos
sible without yielding to the necessity of
appearing in the reception hall between
two noble guards and accompanied by the
monsignor participants, whose Office is to
introduce those who have come to be pre-
sented to the holy father.
Another class Of persons who, with the
best Of intentions, give the pope much
trould are the mediocre artists. Leo XIII
is great admirer Of the fine arts. On his
way to the garden he ofteI stops in the
hall Of the candelabri. in the Vatican
museum, descends from his chair and re-
mains several minutes, surrounded by his
palfrenieri, in gazing at the ceiling, which
is being painted ut his expense by Salty.
He inquiries about the progress Of the
painting. asks those around him for their
opinion concerning the work. and repeat
edly orders very costly details to begin
anew, in order 10 make them NOR
worthy Of himself and the aprl.
tolic palace. But surrounded a.
he is by masterpieces OF art, how
many incredible pictures. what abortive
portraits must he see, bless and accept rs
tokens Of yeneration. Leo NH Is hard
TO please in artistic matters: he is rarely
with his portraits, and even Len
hach cuuid not succeed in thoroughly
pleasing him.-Berlin B0ersen- & Courier.

PawninG Her Boys Clothes for Medicine.
A poor woman in Wales, whose boy had
been very i'll for several years. had expend-
ed all of her means to pay for medicine.
At last the doctors gave him up and said
he must die. He suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the
Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence Of
the curative power Of their Extract Of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothing to buy bottle Of
the remedy (Siegers Syrup, but nov she
feels proud that she did so. for 1t was the
means of curing her son. The Shakers say
this was the result of indigestion and that
the msdlcine cured the Dyspepsia, and that
the rheumatism was only symptom Of the
real disease. For coughs the Shaker Tar
